Aren words like “escort” and “courtesan” just self-rationalizing terms?
more less Every human rationalizes what they do, which is why so many people call one-night stands “making love.” Usually terms like “courtesan,” “paid companion,” and escort” are used in an attempt to define the quality of the experience the client will receive. Of course, every individual’s definition of such words is open to interpretation, but using descriptive words that aren’t strict prostitution terms is to impress on the client that he isn’t just paying for sex. Girls often use these words because they feel they offer much more than just sex. That’s not rationalization. That’s business.
